Law & Ethics - May 2007

From what I can understand, some liberal and conservative civilians hate each other so much because of current events, each side believes the other wants to destroy the US. Personally, I don't think it's impossible for a scuffle, an employment/service discrimination, or even a murder to arise between a liberal and a conservative who are both civilians. Therefore, it may be necessary to add political beliefs to the list of grounds businesses and law enforcement are forbidden to discriminate on for the same reason we have sexual orientation and ethnicity.

I believe now that a child is made upon conception which makes sense to me because when a child is concieved, it has intentions to live and grow one day get out of the womb. I believe that the mother/child relationship during pregnancy is a parasitic relationship and that the baby is not just a part of the mother but its own entity. (IE a fetus). How can people say that "women can do what they want with their bodies" when an abortion is taking someone out of their bodies that they put in there in the first place. I have also heard that abortions are justifiable because they are feasible. That sounds irresponsible to me. More people use abortions as a form of birth control than not which is why half of abortions are by people who have already had a previous abortion. We are all simply a group of cells, so how can you consider a group of fertilized cells in a woman's body not a baby when it intends to be so? How is this constitutional? How is this legal?

Yesterday this pregnant 17-yr. old girl I know got so drunk that she urinated in her 8-month old daughter's face, & both of the babies' daddies beat her up for it. & the police took her to the mental hospital, & the men were let go free, but the men should've gotten arrested for beating on a minor. They were drunk, too. The babies' daddies are 40 & 29. I know...very dysfunctional.

Oregon law allows only terminally ill, mentally competent adults who can self-administer the medication to ask a physician to prescribe life-ending drugs, and they must make that request once in writing and twice orally.

What are your feelings on this?

My wedding photographer has sent me my photos, but has not sent the albums that they were suppose to come in.

We paid for these before the wedding, (which was 9 months ago). I have an email from him and he tells me that he will send them to me in two weeks, but that was over 2 months ago. I am positive he is trying to screw me over since I haven't heard from him. I have sent a certified letter telling him if I don't see my albums I will be contacting my attorney. The certified letter came back undeliverable. I don't know how to contact him now.

Can I take him to small claims court? I think the value on these albums are only $300 but it irks me that he can get away with this.

I know other people he has screwed in the past and his customer service sucks!!

Yesterday Robert Alan Soloway, one of the world's top 10 spammers, was arrested. His actions were clearly illegal, using viruses to create zombie computers that would send e-mail after e-mail out. His charges also seem to include identity theft.

But is all spam a crime? Is all spam even bad? Spam is essentially just junk mail, right? While I throw away most of the junk mail the post office delivers to me, every now and then I use some pizza coupons, or learn of a new business in my area that I decide to check out. There is nothing wrong with advertising through the mail. You cannot, however, send unsolicited pornography through the mail. To me it makes sense that a business that produces videos for web pages, for example, should be able to seek out companies they perceive as potential clients and send them an e-mail explaining their services. I don't even mind THAT much the occasion "Lower your interest rate."

So my question is simply this: Where should the lines be drawn?

Ray Tummel is a emotionally distrubed person (EDP) that the OHIO NATIONAL GUARD does not release. He has violated civil and criminal laws and is currently under criminal indictment with New York for sexual abuse and harrassment.
Why do they still keep him? One of his supervisors said he is a model employee. Write the Governor of Ohio and tell him to stop wasting taxpayers money. What else can we do to sever this waste of good taxpayers money?

I am a resident of Bellevue, WA. I took my car for a repair at the auto body shop few months back. I had to go through lot of troubles to get my car repaired. I paid all my deductibles while picking up my car from the shop. and I complained about the shop to my insurance company as they referred me to the shop. After few days, insurance company sent me a check of around 200$. While enquiring about the check, I was told that its a refund for the trouble I had to go through.
After around 3 months or so, I got a call from Shop that I owe them the money. I refused to pay them as I already paid them the deductible while picking up the car. Later I realized that, the check that Insurace company sent to me was a check that they owned to shop. Now, my insurance company is asking me to pay the shop the money I received as a check, and in case if I dont, they are threting me with sending a collection agency. I dont want to keep the money, but I dont want to pay the shop also.Any suggestions?

Gore and other liberals are pushing to eliminate private choice in telecommunications by instituting the "fairness doctrine" thought the FCC. Under this doctrine, the government would regulate content of broadcasting stations to make sure they were politically "balanced" between left and right. Of course, the obvious problem with that is that the government decides what constitutes "balanced" broadcasting.

Isn't that what Chavez is doing in Venezuela? Is he the model for liberal thought in this country when it comes to interpreting the First Amendment?

to win custody of his kids? Look at my other questions for proof. Legally the courts must make their decision based on the best interest of the child and mom should not win by default becasue she has a vagina.
My question is: What are your reasons for beleiveing that a man must prove a woman unfit in order to win custody? Why is it not that a woman must prove a man unfit? I see no other reason for this line of thinking except that it is blatant sexist discrimination.
And don't tell me it is because mom's are better care givers. A man can do what ever a woman can, and vice versa.

My sister is being harassed by the current girlfriend of an ex. The girlfriend found my sister's number in Mr. Wonderful's phone and has been calling my sister around the clock for the last 3 days, leaving messages and being a general nuisance. My sister is doing her best to ignore the whole thing but I think that she ought to get the authorities involved with anyone who is this crazy that would spend their time this way. (Clearly I'm the "big sister" and I know that she is free to handle this however she sees fit, I just want to be able to give her a good suggestion if she decides to file some sort of complaint).

We live in Ohio. What is the proper channel to follow. Is this a state, local or federal thing (my sister's phone is a cell). She doesn't want to have to change her number over this thing since she's had it for a long time.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I wanted the tires from last Fall put on my vehicle to replace the snow tires. I was informed the $135 Michelins were too worn,2/32. It was obvious to me that they were fine and I disputed their claim of "DANGEROUS". (Later measure showed 4/32+, almost 1/2 of original tread). I called for a mgr and got an asst. who after discussion concurred with tire associates. I accused them as using a "schlocky" business practice. I asked mgr. last name as his tag only said JUAN. He declined and I said Juan Valdez and as I was angry, tacked on for his edification, why doesn't he go pick some coffee beans. I then paid for oil change and left. Later I returned with knowledge that tread wear indicators are built in at 2/32 and my tires obviously had a lot left. Suddenly, the store mgr. arrived and after listening to my complaint advised that I was banned for life from all Walmart stores. The fact that a foolish comment was made became an ethnic insult and the tire fraud and deception moot.
